The list of Stephen King short stories and novels (and everything in between) that have been adapted onscreen could fill the space of an abridged dictionary. Several more onscreen projects are in the works, too. There are not quite that many Salem’s Lot adaptations, but damn, there are a few. In 1979, Tobe Hooper directed […]

‘Hacks’ Season 3: All The Details You Need To Know For The New Season (Update For March 2024)
Jean Smart is a darkly (and gloriously wryly) comedic force to be reckoned with, and Hacks celebrates those abilities like no other show has before. Smart portrays a veteran comedian, Deborah Vance, whose relevance had seen better days at the start of this series, and Hannah Einbinder has broken out as Ava, the other half […]
Read MoreWhat Are The Must-See Shows For March 2024?
Winter will draw to a close in March, but there’s still no time like now to cozy up with a blanket in front of the TV. After you’re done with the cynically and sincerely romantic shows of February, it’s time to finally see more of Amazon’s domination of the comic book genre. Seriously, who would […]
Read MoreThe ‘Hacks’ Season 3 Teaser Makes A Great Show Even Better By Adding Christina Hendricks As A Gay Republican
Here’s the thing: you should be watching Hacks. It’s one of the best things on Max. But if Jean Smart wielding a chainsaw didn’t convince you to give the show a shot, maybe Christiana Hendricks — a.k.a. Joan from Mad Men — playing a “gay Republican oil heiress” who makes out with Hannah Einbinder will […]

Read MoreWhen Does The ‘Harry Potter’ TV Show Premiere On Max?
There hasn’t been much news about HBO’s Harry Potter series since it was first announced last year. But this morning, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO (and public enemy number one among Looney Tunes fans) David Zaslav offered an update on the reboot, which unfortunately involves J.K. Rowling. “We’ve not been shy about our excitement around Harry […]

Read MoreMaisie Williams Revealed Why She Nearly Skipped Out On Her ‘Game Of Thrones’ Audition
Maisie Williams’ run on Game of Thrones included the coolest move in the entire Battle of Winterfell. Granted, that was a low bar to meet because much of that episode was barely freaking visible, but Arya ruled. It’s hard to envision anyone else in that role, but Williams almost didn’t go there, which would have […]
Read MoreSchitt’s Creek star Catherine O’Hara joins HBO’s The Last of Us in an ‘undisclosed role’
In what I think qualifies as an unexpected bit of casting, HBO has announced that Catherine O’Hara, known for her work in television and movies including Schitt’s Creek, Beetlejuice, and Home Alone, is joining the cast of HBO’s The Last of Us in an undisclosed role. HBO has already made a number of new casting […]

Read MoreWhen Does ‘True Detective’ Season 4, Episode 2 Come Out?
HBO’s True Detective: Night Country might make you feel even chillier that you already do during these ongoing arctic blasts.

Foster, for her part, insisted that she loved […]
Read MoreDid Che Diaz Really Get The Ax From ‘And Just Like That…’?
The world of Sex and the City transformed into a bit of a horror show when And Just Like That… debuted in 2021. Granted, the “Death By Peloton” episode got that vibe started, and Che Diaz grabbed that torch, although to be fair, Che ended up being one of the most watchable parts of the […]
Read More‘The White Lotus’ Season 3: An Update On Everything We Know About The New Season (Update For January 2024)
The White Lotus turned into a sleeper hit for HBO while satirizing the hell out of rich tourists who are utterly miserable despite themselves.

Murray Bartlett stole the show while pooping in a […]
Read More‘Hacks’ Season 3: Everything To Know Including The Release Date, Cast, Trailer, & More Info
Jean Smart’s career has been humming along for decades and raging pretty hard for the past 10 or so years.

That would include Mare of Easttown‘s boozy […]
Read MoreWhat ‘The Sopranos’ Iconic Filming Locations in N.J. Look Like Now
As much as it was a show about Italian American mobsters, “The Sopranos” was a show about New Jersey. From scenes of domestic life in a North Caldwell McMansion to after-hours debauchery at a strip club in Lodi, the show captured a snapshot of the Garden State in the late 1990s and 2000s, beguiling viewers […]

Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon impressively crashed HBO Max to such a degree that the audience turnout was obvious, even before data arrived.

Read More‘True Detective: Season 4’: Everything To Know About HBO’s ‘Night Country’ Installment
True Detective can never hope to surpass its immaculate first season starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.

Read More‘House Of The Dragon’: Everything To Know About Season 2 (Update For December 2023)
House of the Dragon has thus far been much better received than the final season of Game of Thrones.

As […]

George R.R. Martin has accomplished more than 99.99% of published authors. Still, A Song of Ice and Fire readers and Game of Thrones viewers will continue to give him hell for not finishing Winds of Winter and beyond. Sure, Martin kind-of asked for it because he did volunteer for imprisonment if he didn’t finish that […]
Read MoreThe ‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 2 Teaser Trailer Launches Into A Civil War And Goes *Heavy* On The Dragons
House of the Dragon‘s Season 2 will arrive in 2024, and HBO made good on their hint of a first look coming this weekend with a teaser trailer. As you can plainly see, Aemond’s major screw up of not being able to control Vhagar, which ended life for Luc and Arrax, has fully launched the […]
Read More‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ Season 1: An Info Update On The New Season (November 2023)
HBO’s road to more Game of Thrones shows wasn’t smooth.

Read MoreWhen Does ‘Abbott Elementary’ Season 3 Come Out?
Following questions about whether Abbott Elementary‘s third season would be adversely affected by the Hollywood strikes, writer/producer/star Quinta Brunson admitted that she had kind-of “welcomed a shorter season” due to the previous 22-episode structure of the show.

Read MoreWho Will Be In The ‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 2 Cast?
In the Game of Thrones era of George R.R. Martin’s empire, the Targaryens are nearly extinct. During House of the Dragons, however, there were plenty of them.
